List of Prophet Systems

The basic pre-defined model systems currently supported in Prophet are listed below; more detailed explanations are available in the Prophet Systems section. The first three systems cover most mainstream applications (classical drift-diffusion):

• silicon_poisson: Solve Poisson equation only (no current flow). Used for initial solutions.
• silicon_dd: Solve Poisson equation and two current continuity equations (electrons and holes). Uses Arora dopant dependent mobility model and longitudinal field mobility reduction by default.
• silicon_dd_lombardi: Same as silicon_dd, but with Lombardi transverse field mobility model.
• silicon_dg5: Five equation density gradient system (quantum corrections, current flow). Uses Arora dopant dependent mobility model and longitudinal field mobility reduction by default.
• silicon_dg_lombardi: Same as above, but with Lombardi transverse field mobility model.
• silicon_poisson_ex: Same as silicon_poisson, but also calculates vertical E-field. Useful for 1-D MOS capacitors, for example.
• silicon_dd_ex: Same as silicon_dd, but with calculation of transverse electric field.
• silicon_dg3: Three equation density gradient system (quantum corrections, no current flow).
• silicon_dg3_ex: Three equation density gradient system (no current flow). Useful for 1-D MOS capacitors, for example.
• silicon_dg5_ex: Same as silicon_dg5, but with calculation of transverse electric field.
